ABOUT

Hi, I’m Ricki—a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator with over 13 years of experience blending fine arts and graphic design. Whether it’s a hand-drawn illustration for apparel or a full digital campaign, I love creating thoughtful, eye-catching work that helps brands connect with people in meaningful ways.

​

My creative journey is fueled by curiosity and a love for connecting ideas and communities through art. I’ve designed custom graphics for everything from socks and shirts to packaging, websites, and social media. Along the way, I’ve developed a distinctive illustration style that helps brands stand out in crowded spaces—and resonate with their audiences.

​

Beyond design, I spent 16 years teaching high school art. That experience shaped how I work with people: celebrating cultural differences, empowering teams, and leading with empathy and clear communication. Whether I’m mentoring a creative team or managing a fast-moving product launch, I approach each challenge with creativity and care.

​

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me painting in my backyard studio, exploring the woods with my three kids, or tackling life’s real creative challenge—convincing my 11-year-old to clean his room.

Let’s connect and make something amazing together.
